Description

This synopsis is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov/ and the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) site located at https://www.neco.navy.mil/ While it is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by NSWC Crane. MARKET SURVEY - SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS/REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI): The United States Government (USG) is issuing this sources-sought announcement as part of a market survey. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division located at the Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN is seeking information from companies with the capabilities and facilities to provide Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS), Non-Developmental Items (NDI), or a near NDI solution for an inclusive Multi-Sensor system. Sources are requested to provide information on potential solutions based on the ability to meet the preliminary requirements. Specific information is requested on how the proposed solution would meet the preliminary requirements indicated below. If a potential solution meets some requirements but does not meet others, please highlight and address what can and cannot be reasonably met. For those requirements that cannot be met, please describe the reason for the shortfall in detail. The objective of this RFI is to gather information and gauge if and how industry can respond to these preliminary requirements.
